Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for dynamically measuring the imbalance of the rotor of a turbocharger body group, the rotor comprising a turbine wheel, a compressor wheel and a shaft mounted in a center housing of the turbocharger body group.
  • Exhaust-driven turbochargers have a rotor that rotates in operation at a very high speed of often over 100,000 revolutions per minute and therefore must be balanced very precisely to avoid noise and excessive bearing loads.
  • the rotor consists of a shaft mounted in a bearing housing which carries a turbine wheel at one end and a compressor wheel at the other end. The measurement of the imbalance of the rotor is made for accuracy reasons usually at a substantially normal operating speed corresponding angular velocity.
  • Out EP 0 426 676 B1 is a method of the type specified for dynamically balancing the imbalance of the high-speed rotor of an exhaust-driven turbocharger known in which the turbocharger center housing in which the rotor is mounted, with a turbine housing enclosing the housing and the compressor enclosing housing is firmly connected and the so formed unit by means of flexible bellows hoses, which engage the two housings, is movably stored soft in a frame in all three spatial directions. Accelerometers are arranged on the housings whose acceleration signals are processed in conjunction with an optically measured phase angle to determine the size and position of the imbalance.
  • attached to the turbocharger center housing housing parts affect the vibration behavior and thus the measurement of imbalance considerably.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned above, which allows automatic implementation of the imbalance measurement with high accuracy and operating conditions. It is Another object of the invention to provide a particularly suitable for carrying out the method, simple and inexpensive device.
  • the method according to the invention enables a fully automatic measurement of the imbalance of a turbocharger rotor under operating-like conditions, i. under pressure. Nevertheless, the oscillatory mass is advantageously small, so that large vibration amplitudes can be achieved. Oscillations and resonances caused by coupled housings, which affect measurement accuracy, are avoided.
  • the compressor housing requires in contrast to the turbine housing no connections, because the air can be sucked from the atmosphere and flow freely back into this, but can be connected to hoses without any disadvantage.
  • the apparatus for carrying out the method is inexpensive, because no complicated clamping device for clamping the center housing during the measurement is needed. Accordingly, the handling when inserting or removing the turbocharger fuselage group is simple and automatic, for example, by means of a positionally precisely controllable handling gripper feasible.
  • the vibrations of the center housing can be measured without contact, for example by using a laser vibrometer to measure the vibrations.
  • the bearing elements can be very easily and very easily performed because they do not need any means to attach vibration sensors.
  • an advantageous apparatus for dynamically measuring the imbalance of the rotor of a turbocharger body group wherein the rotor comprises a turbine wheel, a compressor wheel and a shaft which is mounted in a center housing of the turbocharger body group, comprises a turbine wheel adapted to receive the turbine wheel , Turbine housing mounted on a machine bed, which is connected for accelerating the rotor by driving the turbine wheel by means of compressed air to a compressed air source and having a means of springs in at least two spatial directions movably mounted first bearing element on which the turbine side of the center housing in a movement of the center housing and of the turbine wheel in the at least two spatial directions permitting distance from the turbine housing can be supported, and a trained for receiving the compressor wheel, mounted on the machine bed compressor housing, which moves by means of springs in at least two spatial directions having mounted second bearing element, on which the compressor side of the center housing in a movement of the center housing and the compressor in the at least two spatial directions permitting distance from the compressor housing is supported, and by acting on the center housing,
  • the device according to the invention is easy to handle and allows a fully automatic implementation of the imbalance measurement.
  • the means for receiving the turbocharger hull group are simple and allow a cost effective Production of the device.
  • the first and / or second bearing element may be a simple to manufacture bearing ring which engages around a centering surface of the center housing.
  • On the turbine housing can advantageously be attached a flexible seal which is sealingly connectable to the middle housing.
  • a non-contact measuring vibration sensor for vibration measurement can be assigned to the center housing a non-contact measuring vibration sensor according to the invention, in particular a laser vibrometer.
  • a holding device for holding the turbocharger body group during the tensioning operation can be used according to the invention arranged on the turbine housing or the compressor housing clamping device or a positionally controllable handling gripper. Furthermore, the turbine housing and / or the compressor housing can be adjusted by an actuator in the axial direction for automatic clamping.
  • the drawing shows schematically the design of an unbalance measuring device with arranged therein turbocharger body group.
  • the unbalance measuring apparatus shown comprises a turbine housing 1, a compressor housing 2 and a machine bed 3.
